Newtonian constitutive form for a Cauchy flow

A Cauchy flow in d d -dimensional space is Newtonian with respect to the scalar fields of pressure p p , shear viscosity μ \mu , and second viscosity λ \lambda if its stress tensor σ(t,x) \mathbf{\sigma}(t, \mathbf{x}) satisfies the Newtonian constitutive relation: σ(t,x)=p(t,x)I+μ(t,x)(u+(u))+λ(t,x)(u)I \mathbf{\sigma}(t, \mathbf{x}) = -p(t, \mathbf{x}) \mathbf{I} + \mu(t, \mathbf{x}) \left( \nabla \mathbf{u} + (\nabla \mathbf{u})^\intercal \right) + \lambda(t, \mathbf{x}) (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{u}) \mathbf{I} for all times t t and spatial positions x \mathbf{x} , where u \mathbf{u} is the velocity field of the flow, I \mathbf{I} is the d×d d \times d identity matrix, u \nabla \mathbf{u} is the spatial velocity gradient, and u \nabla \cdot \mathbf{u} is the divergence of the velocity field.
